“I grew up in Ventura County California and graduated from Cal State Northridge with a BA in Psychology. In that time I traveled abroad, road-tripped across the nation, started a graphic design brand, adopted a shelter pup and ran two half marathons. After college I realized that my drive towards creation would be my greatest asset. After many detours I arrived at the idea of Dawnsray. A place that little me dreamed of creating and adult me found the courage to build.” -Makenna Smollen
